The person who tours is the person who negotiates
At a larger shop, the agent who shows you houses often is not the one writing your offer. Here there is only one person, so nothing is lost between them.
There is no junior agent, no transaction coordinator you have never met, and no handoff after the contract is signed. You get Mike, from the first call to the keys.
What That Actually Means
This is not a boast about size. It is a description of how the work runs.
At a larger shop, the agent who shows you houses often is not the one writing your offer. Here there is only one person, so nothing is lost between them.
One phone number, answered by the person whose name is on the license. Clients mention the response time more than anything else in their reviews.
The inspection response, the appraisal, the lender chase, and the final walkthrough are all the same person who took your first call.

He introduced himself with, I know why your house didn't sell.
He didn't tiptoe around the issues. He gave us straightforward, actionable advice and didn't shy away from any challenge. He even said, you probably have other agents, but I'm your only veteran. Our home sold in nine days.
